Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
I am interested in issues relating to the representation and measurement of evidence in medical research, and determinants of the truth of medical findings, using a Bayesian framework. I also do work in evidence synthesis, comparative effectiveness research, and the ethics of clinical research. Finally, I have an ongoing project related to landmark clinical trials that have had great impact.
